Welcome to Open Shutter Photography!

Coming from small-town Ontario and being old-school in every sense of the word, I enjoy things in life that have true lasting power; pyrex, canning, traditions and, of course, the perfect shot!

My specialty is Lifestyle Photography …..Weddings, Maternity and Newborns; all the real tear-jerker stuff! Being a lover of all things sentimental, I understand the true importance of capturing those magic moments that make life extraordinary. Extensively trained in newborn posing, safety and natural lighting, I take the well being of your little one (whether it be in the form of a bump, or the baby that’s already made its arrival) with as much care as I would my very own; creating timeless images that capture those fleeting, adorable moments forever.

I want to create an experience for you that is really enjoyable, and that makes you feel comfortable being in front of the camera. I want to take pictures of you being you! Pictures that you will look back on and remember, not only for the faces and love, but for the fun we had taking them too! I, myself, am a sensitive, romantic soul who has married the man of her dreams. Together we have created three little angels of our own. Living and Loving through our crazy life is an amazing adventure that I am so happy to be a part of. Life passes us by so quickly, it’s important that from time to time we stop to smell the roses and take the poses.

Its that crazy time of year again! After opening up Sundays and rearranging my schedule this is my remaining Fall availability. It may look like alot but it is pretty limited in regards to times and lengths of sessions. Some sessions are only minis some are full hours locations vary due to other scheduled appointments.. Thank you everyone for making this job that I love so amazing! Please Email rebecca@openshutterphotography.com to book or use the sites contact form.

This little sweetie is going to give her parents a run for their money! She’s a fiery little red head and we saw LOTS of her eyes! But thats ok because they are beautiful. I was super happy to photograph this amazing milestone for this couple. Their first baby! I love photographing couples weddings and seeing families grow. Much love to you both and your growing family!

I was excited to hear that my long time friend was expecting again. There is a bit of an age gap between her first and this bundle but her big sister sure seemed excited to have a new little brother on the way! He’s super cute BTW that post will be up soon! This was my first maternity session in my new studio! it was great to use some of the techniques and teaching from my maternity posing workshop taken back in September.

Baby Ryder (Chatham-Kent Newborn Photographer) » Open Shutter Photography-[…] Sweet Little Ryder came to the studio for his newborn session when it was way warmer out.. Man its freezing here in the great white almost north. Ryder’s Mama is a longtime friend of mine since we were kiddies. I am so happy to capture memories for every client that comes to the studio but when it’s a friend or family member it makes it just that much sweeter! You may remember her maternity session, what a gorgeous lady she is with a beautiful family! You can view it here. […]
